Listen to this 10 part episode from Chandogya Upanishad chapter 7, where Swaminiji explains the meaning of Shokam Taratyatmavit. Narada says to Sanatkumāra  ‘True, I have learned much, but I know only the word meaning. I do not know the Self. Sir, I have heard from great persons like you that only those who know the Self are able to overcome sorrow. I am suffering from sorrow. Please take me across the ocean of sorrow.’
